Joe has been able to help me on a couple medical practicing contracts and each experience has been wonderful. He is very punctual and the turn around time for questions/answers and review/signing of contracts is incomparable! Joe has a plethora of knowledge on medical law and is a great asset to have for any situation similar.
I’ve been in healthcare and law all my life, so I have high expectations for attorneys. Joe is not only experienced, but incredibly fair with his fee structure. I’ve had really bad experiences with lawyers who treat every client like an ATM. Joe is fair with his billing, especially for his wide breath of experience. Will continue to use him for my company.

He helps providers untangle the laws and regulations providing them with optimal reimbursement. Among the spectrum of legal services, he reviews, edits and drafts physician and mid-level employment agreements, provides legal advice on reimbursement issues related to coding, billing, denials, and handles third-party payor audits. He has successfully appealed over $1 million collectively across many provider types (e.g., ambulance, solo practitioners, large medical groups, and hospitals).
Prior to becoming an attorney, Joe work in coding, billing, compliance, and operations. He understands and knows how to analyze the laws and identify potential impacts related to the client's operations. Understanding the law is important, but knowing how to implement in a practice is where Joe brings tremendous value.
He is a national speaker and has written three books on Evaluation and Management coding among numerous other publications. He is often called upon to speak nationally on telehealth services and the impacts on the continued changing landscape of reimbursement regulations.
Additionally, Joe is on the National Small Business Association Leadership Council and serves on two policy groups in Washington D.C.: Healthcare & Labor and Economic Development.

Excellent Resource
Joe Rivet is knowledgeable and an authority regarding medical billing and coding. I was struggling with claim denials, and he worked with me to reassess the claims and change my billing strategies to better build my audiology practice and make sure I was within compliance. I would recommend Joe to anyone needing assistance in the medical industry.

Excellent Lawyer
We had the opportunity to employ Joe while he was in law school. Since his graduation and passing of the bar, we then hired Joe to assist us in a Medicare fraud case involving complex Medicare billing rules.
Joe knows CMS billing and coding rules better than anyone I know. What would have taken us 40 hours of work to find answers (the rules are thousands of pages), Joe takes just a couple of hours. His years of work experience in the healthcare industry shows.
We will be hiring Joe again.

"I endorse this lawyer. I sought out Joe and his expertise on a personal, healthcare-related matter. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous and kind. With his assistance my issue was fully resolved in a fraction of the time I spent trying to resolve the issue on my own. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance with a healthcare matter."
